Help DA Update Its Website!
Having a strong digital presence will be more important than ever for finding and mobilizing voters abroad for critical races in 2022. That’s why Democrats Abroad has prioritized redesigning its website (www.democratsabroad.org) in Spring 2022.
At the top of the to-do list is making our website more engaging, accessible, and user-friendly -- something we know needs to be done, but which comes with a price tag of $30,000. Please help us in this longer-term investment so that we can better attract and support our online visitors -- and in turn convert site visits into activism and votes.

Today is International Voter Registration Day!
It’s 2022!! If you have yet to request or submit your FPCA (Federal Post Card Application) enabling you to register to vote in your home state and/or request an absentee ballot, why not start the process today? It takes less than 5 minutes (for most states) and can be done online. Just a few states require printing and mailing 😡.

Welcome to Democrats Abroad Brazil!
Hello and Welcome to Democrats Abroad Brazil!
We’re one of 48 country committees that comprise Democrats Abroad, the official Democratic Party arm for more than 9 million Americans living outside of the United States.
If you’re an American citizen residing in Brazil (including those of you who may have dual citizenship and have even spent the better part of your life here), are 18 years of age on or before the date of the next federal election, you have the right to vote in U.S. state and federal elections.
Contact Email: [email protected]
Read more to see why YOU might want to Join Democrats Abroad.
The aim of Democrats Abroad is to provide Americans abroad a Democratic voice in our government and elect Democratic candidates by mobilizing the overseas vote. Voting overseas (especially depending on your state) may seem at times cumbersome and downright frustrating. Then there’s the mystery as to whether your vote was actually received and/or tabulated, and that’s not even considering the campaign currently underway by some states to make mail-in and absentee voting even more trying!
DABR is here not only to assist with the voter registration process through VoteFromAbroad.org, we can also provide other information, individual assistance and tools to help you cast your absentee ballots from Brazil. For US Embassy & Consulates in Brazil, in particular concerning citizen services with regard to voting, please consult their page for more information.
But Democrats Abroad Brazil is much more than this! Read more here!
DABR is self-funded, utilizing all funds raised to support our get out the vote efforts. We are very grateful to all of our donors for their generous support!
